The ruling on wearing loose pants

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Now, O Shaykh, what is the ruling on wearing pants and a skirt that goes down below the knee and is loose?

Answer:
It is not permissible for a woman to wear pants. In fact, it is not even fitting for a man to wear them, because they do not provide proper coverage in that they reveal the body's dimensions, and because they are tight. So it is not fitting for a man to wear them, let alone a woman. A woman is commanded to wear loose, baggy covering that does not reveal any of the contours of her body. Yes.
